Light City is Baltimore’s first and largest light festival the city has ever seen, and is billed as the first large-scale international light festival in the U.S.

The event is modeled after an 18-day festival in Sydney, Australia. This week-long festival will run after dark as it transforms and illuminates the waters of the Chesapeake Bay and the skyline of the Inner Harbor.

There will also be a Neighborhood Lights program in five different neighborhoods featuring local artists collaboratives and extending the festival beyond the Inner Harbor.

Amazing installations including a spectacular colorful laser light display and a flotilla of paper boats attached to underwater lights will be breathtaking. All of the art, music and lights will create a tremendous playground of imagination for children and adults to make memories that will last forever.
